State the $z$z-value that corresponds to a $90%$90% confidence interval.
Use the table of values to calculate the $90%$90% confidence interval for the true proportion.
Express your answer in the form $\left(\editable{},\editable{}\right)$(,), and give your answer to two decimal places.
Which of the following statements about the confidence interval are correct? Select all that apply.
There is a $90%$90% probability that the true proportion lies between $0.49$0.49 and $0.61$0.61.
The probability that the true proportion lies within $\left(0.49,0.61\right)$(0.49,0.61) is $0$0 or $1$1.
We have $90%$90% confidence that the true proportion lies between $0.49$0.49 and $0.61$0.61.
The true proportion lies between $0.49$0.49 and $0.61$0.61.
